fly-tailscale-exit VS outline-apps

I used to do Algo with a VM on GCP. But fly.io and tailscale has made this really simple. Try this if you are looking for an easier alternative https://github.com/patte/fly-tailscale-exit

Yes, fly.io allows you to expose a UDP port. See the [fly.toml](https://github.com/patte/fly-tailscale-exit/blob/main/fly.to...) in the repo. To make, the tailscale port [is pinned](https://github.com/patte/fly-tailscale-exit/blob/main/start....) to the exposed port (41641 in that case).

I just tested it again and the connections are made directly (after the first 2,3 go via DERP):

Outline, a free and open-source VPN service developed by Google, is renowned for its user-friendly design. It can be conveniently established on diverse platforms, and this blog will specifically guide you through the process of setting up a self-hosted Outline VPN using Amazon LightSail.

Another good way is to set up your own VPN server on Digitalocean or something. Use a VPN protocol that is good at escaping detection. I recommend Outline VPN (getoutline.org). It's an open-source project that uses the Shadowsocks protocol and aims to provide censorship-free Internet to journalists in certain countries. It's not a VPN service so you need to set it up on your own server.

Use a self-hosted Outline on GCP or any other cloud platform, it works really well in my experience for circumventing these blocks.

Yes. Use an outline service. https://getoutline.org/

See https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-client/issues/1177, technically you don't need Outline Client, compatible Shadowsocks client like https://github.com/shadowsocks/ShadowsocksX-NG/releases should work too.
